However my LTFT was 0% most of the 30 minute drive to work, which seems to good to be true. It did however vary a bit, mostly at idle with 0.78%. I've just passed 100 km since last flash...
Yes, fuel trims get reset. The idea is that if you had a genuine CEL (something like running too rich), once you applied a fix for that all fuel trims currently stored wouldn't be valid and it's best to start over from scratch.

Bus off error suggests you have a loose or questionable electrical connection to an ECU somewhere.
